Samsung is now officially rolling Android 7.0 Nougat out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

If you are Samsung fan, we don't need to rethink that you too believe that Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were one of the best devices from the company and undoubtedly, one of the most trending smartphones from 2016. Even though Samsung might have incurred some reputation damage post the Note 7 fiasco, S7 and S7 Edge were still one of the hot selling smartphones last year.

And as a matter of expected surprise, what could be better than the devices receiving the Android Nougat update by following a beta program that began in November and some models of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are now receiving official, non-beta builds of Nougat over the air.

Samsung is sticking to its recent promise of rolling out the Nougat update on January 17th, as owners of the Galaxy S7 edge (and likely the Galaxy S7) in China and the UK are seeing a 1.2GB update on their handsets. The January 17th estimate was given for the European market, so it’s possible that Samsung will be making the update globally available in a matter of days.

We are still not able to clear which variants of Samsung's flagships are already receiving the update, but screenshots show a European S7 edge that was enrolled in the beta program downloading the OTA update. For that particular model (SM-G935F), the update brings with it the January 2017 security patch.

For those who participated in the beta program, the final update doesn’t bring anything new, but for everyone else there are a lot of new features in Android 7.0 Nougat which you can easily go through in our previous posts.
